Game of Thrones Review: “Oathkeeper” - GAMbIT Magazine

Game of Thrones has never been short on brutality. This is a show that has featured, to name just a few atrocities, incest, rape, cannibalism, infanticide, castration, and tonight one of the Night’s Watch mutineers drank wine out of Jeor Mormont’s skull. But it’s all that baggage that the viewer brings to GoT that makes episodes like “Oathkeeper” so special. So much of tonight was surprisingly touching.
